SI ME ji i: Germans Take Food From Invaded ' Territory and Export it to Scandinavia to Keep Up Pretense of Shipping Food. i London.?New information of a highj ly interesting character concerning , German food supplies has been obtain1 ed. Submarine crews are now the best j! fed of any of the lighting men in the whole German service. This- has been i | ordered to attract men to it. i At the same time it is Germany's ; intention to do most of its submarine i recruiting among the men of its mer| chant marine service because of the \ high mortality in the undersea work j and the hecessity of saving the regular F naval officers and men for the nign | seas fleet. 11 Food Camouflage. Il order to send 5 per cent of Germany's foodstuffs to Denmark and Sweden, this amount, it is stated, is being withdrawn from persons in occupied territories. It is considered vitally necessary as propaganda that Germany should be able to make a pre I tense of sending food outside. 1, To help counterbalance this expor, tation, it is known that in recent months Germany has been sending a considerable number of conscripts into neutral countries to fatten up, preliminary to active service. The shortage in food in many big 5 nrin<* rontors hilS led tO tlie return home of many highly skilled Dutch and Scandinavian workmen, despite high wages offered. Others periodically go home to put in a few weeks on better rations, returning again to obtain the higher wages. The latest food statistics from Germany, which cover a period from August to the present time, indicate that new flour was placed in market in Berlin during August, whereas a year ago it wasn't done until November. This was imperative because of the shortness of the potato crop in some sections. Seven pounds weekly is the flour ration now, as compared with ten and a half pounds last year. There has been a heavy increase in the price of condensed milk throughout Germany since August. Causing Night Blindness. The dearth of fodder is the most dangerous aspect of the food situation because Germany is trying to maintain a large amount of live stock, ^he ration has now been reduced from I( 250 grams to 200 and 150. Germany's leading medical men arc; now more frank than ever before in statements that malnutrition, if coninner will mo.on thr> pliminnlion IlliiUUU n 4i? V..V, of the weakest and explain that nijrht blindness is the disease now spreading . in the fatherland just as it did in the wake of the famine in early periods of history. Neutral doctors testify to the increase in cases of perforation of the intestines as a result of the lack of food. A report just issued by insurance companies declares malnutrition is exceeded only by military service as the cause of the greatest number of deaths. CAMOUFLAGE IS ANCIENT ART . Expert Tells Artists Trojan Horse Was an Early Example?Used in Civil War. York.?Camouflage is ages old, Maximilian Toch, adviser to the United States government in the art, told a meeting of artists and architects here. "It saw its birth in the day of the ancients," he said. !' "You all know how the Greeks cap' tured Troy by the strategy of concealing warriors in the wooden horse. J "Shakespeare wrote of camouflage, too, in 'Macbeth.' Confederate soldiers in the Civil war were camouflaged by their uniforms of gray that I blended with the dust of Highways," Mr. Toch explained. ^ The artist explained that he and a staff of fellow-workers have been raaking visible objects as nearly invisible !! ns possible. He said one important center was camouflaged only after 60 , experienced men had worked four weeks. 8 I TWO "FORTY-NINERS77 LIVE All There Is Left of a Party of Gold * Seekers That Included 150 i Men.
